Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management - Mozambique

About

Responding to Climate Change in Mozambique- Phase II

The objective of the project is to strengthen early
warning and creating the capacity to respond to disasters at a
different scale; evaluating planned (infrastructural) development
plans from a climate change disaster risk perspective; establishing
links between science and the private sector to start the
implementation of ‘Quick Win’ adaptation measures, with
immediate benefits to the population; preparing for larger scale
measures which require policy- and standards changes, new technology
and high investment levels; and establishing a centre of knowledge
on climate change and the human capacity to harness science, inform
policy, guide investment and measure impact.

The above objectives and all adaptation efforts will be
organized and implemented around eight themes identified as high
priority for Mozambique (to be reflected as such in the national
strategic framework), which are: Early Warning and Response Plans at
a Different Scale; Coastal Protection for 100 Year Return Events;
Cities Prepared for Climate Change; Building Resilience in
Communities; Preparing People; Water-Doing More with Less;
Addressing Food Security and Wild Fires; and Extreme Events Analysis.

Phase II is two-year, multi-ministerial,
multi-disciplinary effort, reporting to the Technical and
Coordinating Councils for Disaster Management (CTGC and CCGC).
